If you are spending countless sleepless nights because you are worrying about the vitality of your business, if you've gained weight, if you've stopped exercising, and if you've stopped doing your hobbies, then it's probably time to consider closing your business's doors.
There is no doubt that running a small business takes a lot of work, and going it alone or with just a few employees can be completely overwhelming. If you are constantly feeling defeated, deflated, and indifferent, it may be time to move on to something else.
If your business is not working, your employees are usually the first to see it. When you start losing key employees, morale is low, and your employees are doing more complaining than problem solving, your business is suffering.
When you are perpetually going into the red every month to keep your business afloat and you can't pay your debts, there will come a time when your funds have dried out. Hopefully, you won't lose everything before then. If you are in default on an SBA loan, let our SBA attorneys help.

Our firm successfully resolved an SBA 7(a) loan default in the amount of $140,000 on behalf of a husband-and-wife guarantor pair. The business had closed following a prolonged decline in revenue, leaving the borrowers personally liable for the remaining balance.
After conducting a comprehensive financial analysis and preparing a detailed SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) package, we negotiated directly with the SBA and the lender to achieve a settlement for $70,000 — just 50% of the outstanding balance. This settlement released the borrowers from further personal liability and allowed them to move forward without the threat of enforced collection.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. The client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $150,000. Business failed and eventually shut down. SBA then pursued client for the balance. We intervened and was able to present an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
